News & Events

Sidmouth RFC have won the West Counties league 2018/19. MJS Group have supported the club coming from mid table last year to an emphatic win this year, losing only 4 games all season. A 11-40 away win against Saltash saw SRFC maintain the top spot in the table that they have held for much of the season and cap a glorious year for the club. We have contributed in the revamp of the changing rooms at the start of the season, to helping at BBQ events, Pizza evenings, warm-up kit sponsorship, junior kit sponsorship and coaching set-up support. We are very much looking forward to next year and extending our advertising, relationships and support.

We would like to congratulate all at SIDMOUTH RFC for an outstanding year in the league and the best of luck in the Devon Cup on Saturday.

Further to our recent sites and Cranbrook and Exmouth, Taylor Wimpey have awarded us with the Carpentry package at Hele Park in Newton Abbot. This new addition to our order book provides continuation for our workforce and also allows us to grow this in demand trade for our existing customer base.

At Hele Park home owners can find a stylish new home at this peaceful location perfectly positioned between the wilds of Dartmoor and the ever-popular South Devon holiday coast. It is an important regional hub – a traditional market town on the main railway line, sitting astride the A380 Exeter – Dartmouth road.

With history, culture, great shopping and entertainment close by, plus good schools and colleges, Hele Park is perfect if for all the family.

On Friday, MJS Group Operations Director, Alan Knowles, hosted a table at one of the ‘Phil Dollman Testimonial events’. This time it was the ‘Black Tie Boxing’ at Sandy Park. We welcomed guest from across our sites to enjoy what was a fun-filled and enjoyable evening for everyone who attended. Being a Platinum sponsor for Phil is a great privilege and something we knew we wanted to do as soon as Phil asked us. It is especially close to us with Phil being the head coach at Sidmouth RFC where we have extremely close links and continue to support the club with their clubhouse facilities, kit and events.

We have been awarded the next phase at Galileo – Cranbrook for Persimmon Homes. We have been on this site for over 5 years and continues to provide a consistent workload for the company across three trades, week-in week-out.

The Cranbrook project is spread over 10 years with various house builders involved during the build. We have been fortunate enough to be have been with it since the outset with all of the builders in one form or another during the last 5 years.

Having operatives ‘on the books’ give us diversity and opens other doors to undertake work outside of our normal site remit. Last week we were asked to do something a little different from our norm. We were asked to enclose a small garden in Exeter with feather edge board. We bolted down the post bases to the substrate, erected each post and clad in the feather edge board. The client was extremely happy with the result ‘I think it looks great and really finished off my garden, thank you to MJS Group for the work they have done’.

Our painting and tiling divisions have been awarded a new site in Cornwall for Persimmon Homes. This extends our working area to Cornwall with the painting and also brings us back into the area with our tilers having recently finished two sites in Truro. We are continuing to add new sites, projects and workload month on month which has lead us to require more labour across our patch. If you are interested in working on these new developments please fill in your details on the contact us page.

This week we received some excellent feedback from a Home Owner in Yeovil…’I just want to say and for you to pass on how impressed I have been with M J Stevens who have been doing my re tiling work in our main bathroom yesterday and finished off today, turned up on time, and if they were going to be late I was told, The work that has been carried out is to a very high standard too. Very professional service and we are very pleased.’ This is testament to the hard work and caring attitude of our staff. This is fantastic to see and well done to everyone in our customer care department.

2019 is off to a flying start with 3 new contracts awarded in the first week back. A multi trade contract for Persimmon Homes South West in Exeter is a fantastic way for us to start the year. A very loyal customer rewarding us with work on our doorstep. We are delighted to be starting at Ashworth Place in Exeter. This new site give us further continuity and increased work load in and around Exeter.

MJS Xmas Letter 

With 2018 coming to a close, we are still being told good news. This time we have help Spitfire Bespoke Homes achieve Gold for the Best Development in the UK.

The WhatHouse? Awards judges commented: “Spitfire continues its inexorable rise, in terms of turnover, reputation and burgeoning brand awareness. Formed just seven years ago when it built just four homes, to pushing towards 200 homes in 2018 and a £100m-plus business. Spitfire has a great knack of identifying the right sites and then, in turn, recognising the design approach to take, to do full justice to the location and the local architecture. The housebuilder can do both traditional and contemporary, be it in a Regency spa town, or a Cotswolds village. Premium addresses in the likes of Henley and Ascot showcase large, detached residences with all the design flourishes and high specifications, while Clevedon Hall Estate, near Bristol, is a terrific architectural statement of intent in the grounds of an 19th-century manor.”

MJS Group Managing Director said of the awards ‘This fantastic award goes to show what can be achieved in the right environment and when we are working with a fantastic client such as Spitfire. A truly outstanding end product that all customers must be very happy with. Well done to them and the site team’.
